Acceleration was bass-boat quick with 30.

Tritoon vs bowrider. Mine without strakes and a Honda 115hp. In short these kinds of boats can be more fun if you just want to get out on the water and zoom around and play. A big sterndrive-powered bowrider with interior appointments rivaling that of the most luxurious roadster.

Most bowriders will be sold with a trailer often an added cost for a pontoon. A 23-foot bowrider with twin-prop sterndrive power will cruise at 35 MPH and beat the pontoons top speed by at least 10 MPH. A boat in overall poor condition will have poor fuel.

There doesnt seem to be a lot of higher endlarger engine tritoons used quite yet around but there are nice used large bowrider options abound. Structurally tritoons differ from pontoons by having a third center tube. A center-console that runs and handles like a high-performance boat.

Or a dedicated towboat intended to deliver watersports thrills for riders of all disciplines boats of all types are a far cry from the utilities runabouts and ski boats many of us. The vee-hull of the bowrider leans neatly as it carves through high-speed turns while the pontoon stays relatively flat on the water a less-comfortable attitude for passengers. Look into a deck boat.

I would compare the pontoon to a stretch limo and the bow rider with front cover in place to a. The best cruise speed was just under 16 mph at 2500 rpm where the Yamaha F300 gave back 34 miles per gallon. 21-30 luxury performance boats in standard and 10 wide-beam widths with single or dual engine.

Our 24 R maxed out at 42 mph with predictable and sure-footed handling in curves over chop and through rollers. So far the only acceptable tritoon weve seen was 78k new which was actually mid level or so. The same boat with a high-performance outboard will be even faster.
